Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: DaH

As used in canon:
pIvchem lIngwI' DaHmey: cha'
Warp Field Generation Arrays - 2. KBoP
KGT 56: Larger and more powerful disruptors are mounted on the ship, laid out as {nISwI' DaH} or disruptor banks... The more general term pu', phaser, may also apply to the Klingon disruptor... Since the word is short, {pu'} is heard frequently--even more frequently than {nISwI'}--especially in the throes of combat, in such formations as ... {pu'DaH} (phaser banks)...
We see from the BOP Poster that {DaH} can apply to things other than weapons:
begh DaH deflector array
pIvchem lIngwI' DaH warp field generation array
pIvghor lIngwI' DaH warp generation array
So'wI' DaH cloak array
{DaH} may be an element in {chuyDaH} "thrusters" (pl. n.) - an array of smaller {vIj}? Which of course begs the question: What's a *{chuy}? (The verb {chuy} "sneeze" doesn't appear to be relevant.)
